Elk Hunt

I would not recomend this outfitter unless you just want to give your money away. Leon does not scout for his clients and most of the time he is sleeping instead of looking for game, when I was in camp all his guided clients that were in camp did not kill an elk 2 people did kill elk but they were unguided there was one day we went out with a new guide and that evening when it was to dark to shoot we started to head back to the truck and his guide told us he was lost and did not know the way back luckily me and my brother had GPS units and that dirrected us back to the truck also he will tell you that he can take you in by horseback to get away from everyone thats a lie if you have a 4x4 truck and a BLM map you can hunt anywere he will take you.One day we did bugle an Elk on the side of the mountain fairley close but Leon refussed to go after the Elk he said it was to steep and the only way he would go is the Elk had to be a 6x6 or better I told Leon I had never heard anything like that and he promissed that he had the equipment to get a Elk out of the mountains by 4x4 or horse back if need be,that turned out to be a lie,the star rating is the lowest it will let me give 1 his camp is clean and there is good food bathrooms are outhouses and there is a shower you have to fill a bucket with water to take a shower my recommendation is get a motel or camp but do not use this outfitter
